An Idea ~ DarkDragon

I landed soundlessly on the tree, higher above the ground, hidden by leaves. I rested in a comfortable position, watching the small trail below. I sighed, adjusting my wings so that they were close to invisible from below. I toyed with the leaves impatiently, waiting for the person to come. Clearly, from the talk on the phone, she was young, and quiet obviously, female. I watched as runners jolted down the path, not caring to look at the girl in the leaves. Then a twenty year old woman stopped on the path beginning. It was her! It had to be! But where was Jean? Then I realized that...she wasn't bringing Jean...it'd be too obvious when she dragged along a teenage girl against her will. Then the girl ran off, turning away and opening her phone. It wasn't her by her voice, but I stood up from my hidden position, and murmured to myself, "Jean's not coming..it was a trap!"
"Very good."

I jumped at the other voice, looking up with hateful eyes. She was sitting further above, and no doubt saw me land. How had I not seen her before!? That's it...I was officially blind. She swung down to the branch I was on, sending me off balance, and spreading open my wings to steady myself. She grinned when she saw them. Crap, I thought.

"So, Winter was it? Ha! Took you long enough to realize I wasn't bringing that girl." She chuckled, "Not in her current condition and all."

"What have you done to her!?" I said, fuming.

She grinned at me, "You two are twins now..you'll join her shortly." then, before I had time to think, she was holding a gun up to my shoulder, finger on the trigger. Instinctively, I jumped out, spreading open my wings and swerving through the trees and away from the path. I turned my head to see what she was about to do, and that's when I heard the shot. I ran in my ears, and before I knew it, a needle hit my shoulder, sending pain raging freely through my body. I gasped, then another cracking sound echoed through the small wood, hitting and shattering the small row of scales above my feathered wings, slipping in and the drug entering my blood stream. I winced again, my right arm giving way to the drug, my right wing following shortly after. I swerved in the air, trying to land softly. But by the time I had turned to check my path, my right wing hit strong against a tree despite my effort to swerve away. A sickening crack and pop rang in my ears, my eyes widening with pain and horror. I screamed out, tears burning at my eyes, my hands caressing my broken and bleeding wing. I spun to the ground, landing heavily with my eyes closed and my hurt wings under me. I screamed again. Blood spilled the ground, turning my beautiful white wing into a morbid, bloodied, and sickening wing. My breath caught in my throat, and I could not move for many minutes. The drug ran through my blood stream, strengthening the fact that my wing immobilized me anyways. Then she was standing over me. She knelt next to me and examined the blood that soaked the ground. She laughed and looked at me, "You should know better than to look away when flying."

My teeth ground in anger, my eyes narrowing, and I longed to strangle her. How could she do this!? Then she stood up again, looking around for any witnesses. I attempted to get to my feet, but as soon as I moved just as much as an inch off the ground, I fell back with immense pain. Half my body I couldn't move anyways, but the other part was still quiet alert and singing the bloodied harmony of pain. My voice caught in my throat, and I felt unconsciousness start to call me. I must stay awake, I thought, I can't fall asleep. No telling what'll happen. . But it was so hard. My legs up to my neck couldn't feel any pain. The rest was screaming it. The tall figure, now blurred and unrecognizable, turned their face to me.

"Sleep. Soon, you won't be infected."

"In-infected?" then I let out a deep, wheezing breath, allowing unconsciousness to take me.
